Massdrop, I love you.
I’m the kind of guy who will pay extra to buy something made locally or that will somehow support a worthy startup or small business over a mega-Corp, and I feel the same way about you. The community you have fostered is unique and cherished by many.
However, the price differences between here and Amazon/Newegg/etc for most of the tech I have seen lately are not just inconvenient — they are simply unreasonable.
Massdrop, you guys are great. My small business and I would hands-down buy from you every time if your prices were more competitive. I know you can make this happen because I have seen significant price reductions for tech on this site before.
I may be wrong, but I feel like you have enough of an interested population/following — what’s still is from being able to snag those sweet, sweet, bulk discount rates by which this site has earned its good reputation?
Sincerely, a dismayed but hopeful customer.

Here is a history of a price trend for the 1TB version of the Samsung 860 EVO on Amazon. You'll notice that since September 16 or so, they are cheaper than this current deal. That's almost 2 months ago.... See reply for 3rd party trends on Amazon.

Really? It's been a while since I ordered anything from Massdrop and it seems I will unsubscribe now because their prices are pretty much mediocre.
By shipping late, your prices should be lower than the rest, or equal if you're going to ship in 2 days. Don't expect anyone to purchase anything at this price when it's cheaper everywhere else, shipped in a day or 2.

I hate to add to the negativity surrounding massdrop, but just a quick Newegg email scan (like this one) nabbed me a $76 500gb drive and could’ve gotten a $130 1tb drive. Massdrop, are you really flexing the weight of bulk requests?
